This version is a simplified version of the traditional mole, and it is sure to tantalize your taste buds and make your dinner guests ask for seconds!

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

To make this mole recipe without chocolate, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the tomato, almonds, sesame seeds, ancho chile powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the sauce by simmering it for an additional 10 minutes. You can also add additional spices to the sauce, such as oregano, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. For a vegetarian version, you can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
